How do I remaster a multisession cd after it is full? (Solve

#1 Post by timmytoo »

Hello good people.

How do I remaster a multisession cd after it is full?
Do I have to start another CD all over from scratch?

I will use a DVD next time but what do I do when that is full?

The answer to this must be here somewhere, but I can't find it.
If you can post a link that would be great.
Thanks.

Thanks Flash.

It seems from that post that nobody has known how to do this before a week ago. Is that right? That really surprises me.
Anyway. I'm off to try it now. I'll report back.

Fantastic.
I can't find suitable words to describe how good I think this is.
Only one aspect needs improving for me.
I created the iso using Pburn copyCD, and stopped the process half way to grab the iso.
There must be a cleaner way of creating an iso than this way.

Thanks.

I've posted essentially the same thing several times in the last few years. This is the first time anyone reported finding a use for it. :)

Did you try Menu -> Multimedia -> ISOMaster iso file editor?

But there's no need to remaster the iso if you're using a multisession CD or DVD.. Just save whatever changes you make to Puppy on your multisession DVD. When you "defragment" as described in the post I linked to, it's as good as remastering.

Well I checkedout ISOMaster and couldn't see how it could create an ISO. Maybe I'm dumb.
No matter, I have learned how to use dd command and that's fine.
I have taken your advice and saved an ISO of the remaster for next time.
All good.
Thanks again.

Did you click the Help menu button in ISOMaster? Its Overview is quite a good introduction. Short, but to the point. I hadn't used ISOMaster in years, and even then I only tinkered with it a bit. So this time I couldn't figure it out at first, then I hit on the Help button and it became clear. :lol:
